If you'd like to see some pictures of the mosque, go here: http://www.nytimes.com/slideshow/200...IDESHOW_1.html
(Note: The pictures of the bombings are from last year, not the most recent one.)
This is really sad. These things cannot be replaced... the craftsmanship, etc. Reminds me of when the Taliban blew up the giant Buddha statues.

Um ya right, I wish it wouldn't but as word spread about the mosque being bombed again, an increase in gunfire could be heard. In an effort to stop it, the city is under curfew for God knows how long
